Thought that myself initially, but there's no explicit 'onclick="..."' handler in there and nothing seems to be happen (in terms of incrementing the flag's count) when you click the links. (Tried it on multiple browsers.)

@middaparka It definitely (used to) work. And no, the onclick attribute is definitely not the best way to check for an event handler attached to an element, not when we're talking about unobtrusive JavaScript

@Yi Yup, I didn't fancy delving into the JavaScript to hunt for an event handler. (For I am very lazy.) It's certainly worked in the past though.
